Tupelo, MS

Ireland

Tupelo sits in northeastern Mississippi along US Highways 78 and 45, about 100 miles from Memphis. The city anchors a region of rolling hills and serves as the starting point for the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway. Interstate 22 provides quick highway access, while the regional airport sits 3 miles west of downtown. Elvis Presley was born here in a tiny two-room house that's now a major tourist attraction.
